When I heard Kelly talking about the Mac mini it frustrated me once again. So many tech people in the spotlight don’t seem to know or care about it at all. I think calling it a ‘switcher’ computer is not so proper. Think more perhaps about people who don’t have a lot of money but want to use a Mac. What other Mac is priced like the Mac mini? Not quite cheap enough to have one in every room like Kelly said but maybe she has that kind of money.
I’m just saying for a lot of us out here, a Mac mini is a perfectly fine computer. I have a 2012 and a 2014 and they do all we could ask for and more. I can get into them easy to work on and upgrade. They have a lot of ports. It takes up little space and uses little power. I can use my own display and keyboard. I wish people would stop talking about it like its some disease. Its a legitimate computer some of us pick to use and will continue to. Sure its not updated often but it still meets my needs.
